I read through this quickly and completely missed the part where MacKeeper is Malware. Malware is a strong word for something that just has questionable utility.

As an engineer I don't see any of the commercial desktop software I use going away any time soon. SolidWorks, L-Edit and CoventorWare are expensive and require a lot of interaction on the desktop. They are unlikely to be replaced. Some

I had a veterinarian teach me that carnivore has nothing to do with diet, and means that the animal is in the order Carnivora, which are mostly distinguished by having canine teeth. The kinkajou ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wik

Radio has a lock on the people in cars market, and I don't see how that could change. Radio also has much lower costs than TV.

Everyone is giving this woman a hard time, but I have heard my wife say something similar. I think a large part of what the (presumably male) posters here are missing is how differently women interact with other women.

The flowers were "pictures with butterflies". I don't see any mention of flowers, and I bet you can find some awful artwork of butterflies.

I am surprised there isn't more talk about the costs of delivering t-shirts for these campaigns. This project was an exception, but most of the ones I see are selling shirts that have to eat more than half of the contribution from each

The biggest change I have found for my terminal was adding this to my .bash_profile: export CLICOLOR=1 export LSCOLORS=GxFxCxDxBxegedabagaced I thought that was one of the most amazing things when I used a linux system, but OS X is black an

I have a folder of bookmarks and while I am getting breakfast ready I right click and open all of them in different tabs. I can't eat too quickly first thing in the morning so this is how I start my day: http://gawker.com&#x

Does this have a TV tuner? I thought a tuner was the difference between a TV and a monitor.

I expect that would get approved without a problem. Advertise it as a viewer for a paid web service. One problem with the app store though is that you can't get an idea approved. You have to just submit the app.

Tests are a measure of how well someone takes a test. My Chinese coworker said he spent more than 12 hours a day at his public high school the year before the college entrance exam in China. In the US there are better opportunities, and e

I saw the question and arduino quickly came to mind. I clicked here to see if anyone had other ides. Sparkfun open sources just about everything they sell, and they are doing ok.

I am pretty sure amazon prime movies use this functionality. I can view movies on my iPad, but there is no way to purchase a movie through the app. You just have to know to go through amazon.com if you want to see something that is not prim

I think your peers at an Ivy League school are much more likely to be wealthy, and slightly more likely to be interested in academics. Perhaps some of this disagreement comes from the other schools used for comparison. I figure the OP is lo

I saw that right away, but Unity doesn't imply a platform. Unity supports consoles also, but I never expect an independent developer to come out with PS3, XBox or Wii support.

I agree, but this doesn't sound like a proper FPS.

Thanks. I completely missed that.

Its not just about the classes and education. Its about the resume. The Ivy League doesn't teach you anything you can't get at another school, but it makes it easier to get your next job which is what college is all about. Ivy Lea

I don't see a mention of the platform they are targeting anywhere on the kickstarter page. I would donate money if I thought there would be an iOS version, but I am guessing that no mention = windows.

Partly the math sounds bad because it is bad math. Someone saw that they got a $1M contract and delivered the first 300 custom e-readers. The next 300 probably won't cost that much, and then the numbers won't be so interesting. To

Safari just says that my browser doesn't support the curser lock API. Once I got it going the biggest complaint is that the floor needs some texture to give a frame of reference for movement. Hard edges on the boxes would also help, an

I thought about that too, but then we would just be encouraging people to watch as the year wraps around at midnight on 1 January. That milestone is usually overshadowed by other things.

Why does anyone care about a decimal milestone? I thought the excitement would be when you flip a big bit.

Thanks. That looks like a good fit, and the paid plans are probably less than I would spend on a set of external drives anyway. I will give it a try.

This seems to be a joke that is poking fun at scientific studies that find correlations in large surveys, and then make fantastic claims. If you look at enough different variables then some of them will show a high degree of correlation.
